Silence


We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and rest­less­ness.
God is the friend of silence.

~Mother Teresa

The theme for this week’s Quotography is Silence. And there is a lot of silence around 7am on a Sunday morning.

If you didn’t know if was hap­pening, you might have slept right through it. Or never noticed it. But in the silence of late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, the earth was passing through a stream of dust left over by Halley’s Comet. It’s called the Orionid meteor shower and occurs every October. I never saw any­thing last year, and stayed up past mid­night hoping to see some last Saturday night. I even set my alarm to get up at dark-thirty and watch the sky Sunday morning. It wasn’t until I went to get the paper at 7am before church that I was awed by meteor trails all over the sky above our house.

It rein­forced the real­iza­tion that we are only small, small specks in this vast­ness of the universe.
